It seemed like Dr. Svendsen’s work with stem cells held out hope for treating and perhaps one day curing or possible preventing Parkinson’s disease, ALS and similar neural diseases and damage. We thought, 'If we’re donating to the UW already, why not direct some of it to this research that can really change lives for the better?' |  | One of the reasons UW-Madison's School of Education is ranked among the top few in the nation is the quality of its students, including doctoral students.
Upon graduation, these students typically take positions as faculty in other colleges and universities, where they prepare the next generation of teachers, administrators, counselors and other leaders. Their research becomes a source of new understanding and new ideas in education.
Graduate fellowships make it possible for us to attract the very best students in intense national competition each year. The Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowship program, with support from the UW Foundation and WARF, enables a donor to create an endowment that is, in effect, twice as large as the donor's gift. Even one or two such fellows enhance any graduate program, bringing students who raise the level of discussion and achievement in their courses and seminars and who strengthen the School's reputation for outstanding graduate education. |
